The Police - King of Pain Lyrics

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pourin' rain
With the world turnin' circles runnin' 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hopin' that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black cat caught in a high tree top
(That's my soul up there)
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pourin' rain
With the world turnin' circles runnin' 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hopin' that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pourin' rain
With the world turnin' circles runnin' 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hopin' that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on the throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man lookin' for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleepin' on a golden bed
There's a skeleton chokin' on a crust of bread, king of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
(That's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pourin' rain
With the world turnin' circles runnin' 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hopin' that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
...
